Released as a single, Mame reached the U.S. singles top 40, as did The Work Song, which featured the "ping" sound effect of a hammer or a pickaxe hitting rocks or other solid objects. The album reached No. 2 on the U.S. album chart. S.R.O. means "Standing-room only". Bean Bag became famous in the UK as the theme tune to the popular long-running game show It's a Knockout, as well as a prize cue for the game show The Guinness Game. The Dixieland-inspired song Wall Street Rag from this album was not to be confused with the Scott Joplin song of the same name. For Carlos was re-titled Wind Song, which was covered by jazz guitarist Wes Montgomery.
